Direct Answer (TL;DR)

The Interactive capability for the Brilo AI voice agent enables live, multi-turn conversation where the AI caller bot asks follow-ups, confirms answers, and executes configured actions such as call transfer, send SMS, or send email. The Brilo AI voice agent supports interruption by callers (barge-in) depending on telephony settings, and it can provide a context summary for warm transfers so callers do not repeat themselves.

Why This Question Comes Up (problem context)

Contact centers want fewer repeat questions and faster resolutions. Teams ask how interactive the Brilo AI caller bot can be so they can decide whether to automate qualification, triage, or full call handling. Buyers worry about speech recognition quality, handoff friction, and whether the Brilo AI voice agent will collect the right fields without creating more work for humans.

How It Works (High-Level)

The Brilo AI voice agent runs a configured call flow that supports real-time speech-to-text and text-to-speech. During a call the Brilo AI voice agent performs intent detection, slot filling (slot collection), and multi-turn dialog to gather required details. When triggers are met, the Brilo AI voice agent executes actions such as warm transfer, cold transfer, or sending follow-up messages. The voice agent can produce live transcripts and a short context summary that is attached to the handoff.

Guardrails & Boundaries

Brilo AI voice agent capabilities are governed by configured guardrails. Common guardrails include confidence thresholds that force escalation, restricted topics the voice agent will not address, and explicit stop conditions. The Brilo AI voice agent will not fabricate required facts. If the Brilo AI voice agent cannot confirm a required slot or the confidence is low, the configured escalation path runs. Barge-in behavior depends on your telephony provider settings and Brilo AI voice agent configuration; confirm how interruptions are handled before production.

Applied Examples

  • Qualification: The Brilo AI voice agent asks company size and timeline, confirms answers, then triggers a warm transfer for qualified leads with a context summary for the rep.

  • Scheduling: The Brilo AI voice agent collects appointment details, checks availability via an integration, then sends a confirmation SMS or email.

  • Billing triage: The Brilo AI voice agent verifies identity fields, reads relevant billing policy from the knowledge base, and escalates when a restricted request is detected.

Human Handoff & Escalation

The AI caller bot's handoff features support warm transfers with context summaries so the receiving human sees intent, collected slots, and the brief transcript. The Brilo AI voice agent also supports cold transfers when you prefer direct routing. Escalation rules for the Brilo AI voice agent typically use confidence-based thresholds, explicit caller requests for a human, or detection of restricted topics. Handoffs can include a short, formatted summary so callers do not repeat details.

Setup Requirements

To enable full interactivity for the Brilo AI voice agent, provide the following:

  • Business goals and call scenarios to define expected dialog and escalation rules.

  • The agent core prompt and behavior instructions that require confirmations and slot collection.

  • An up-to-date knowledge base for company-specific answers and policy constraints.

  • Action definitions and trigger conditions for Call transfer, Send SMS, and Send email actions.

  • Telephony configuration and voice provider selection to tune speech-to-text and text-to-speech quality.

  • Destination mappings for transfers and templates for transfer summaries.

Business Outcomes

When configured correctly, the Brilo AI voice agent reduces caller repetition, lowers average handle time, and improves first contact resolution for routine requests. The Brilo AI voice agent also frees human agents to focus on complex issues by handling qualification, slot filling, and routine follow-ups. Consistent context summaries and live transcripts improve handoff quality and raise agent satisfaction.
